I'm new to perl, so i only just started with basic scripts form HTML and stuff.
my tutorial has moved me onto HTML forms, and stuff.
I do exactally as it says, and when i press the submit button, Instead of doing what it's supposed to. My browser trys to download it.... How do i make it run prop.
I've already installed perl into abyss.
Also, it dosen't read .cgi, it only reads .pl
If it's a .cgi i either get an error or it trys to download it....
How do i fix these problems, I really want to learn perl lol.
Code for get.pl


#!/perl/bin/perl -wT
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);
use strict;

print header;
print start_html("Get Form");

my %form;
foreach my $p (param()) {
    $form{$p} = param($p);
    print "$p = $form{$p}<br>\n";
}
print end_html;

and
Code for HTML
